THis might be a stupid question.
When perform retrieval for a query, deos Lucene first get
a subset of candidate matches and then perform the ranking
on the set? That is, similarity calculation is performed only
on a subset of the docuemnts to the query.
If so, from which module could I get those candidate docs,
then I can perform my own similarity calculations (since
I might need to rewrite the normalization factor, so
only modify the "similarity" model seems will not
work).
Or, is there document describe the produre of how Lucene
perform search?
thanks
